Anthony James Cooper

Anthony James Cooper got behind the wheel after drinking five pints of cider and a shot of whiskey.

He wrote off his car in a crash in Penyffordd. Then, when his grandma arrived at the scene, he drove off in hers and wrote that off by crashing into the Millennium Clock Tower.

He was put in an ambulance, but PC Ian Tapley feared he was going to become aggressive with the paramedics.

The policeman took hold of him and tried to calm him down, but 19-year-old Cooper struck him several times, breaking his jaw with one of the blows.

Defending barrister Sarah Badrawy said Cooper, of Eaton Close, Saltney, had written a letter which he wished to be handed to the officer, although he accepted that an apology would not rectify the damage that he had done.

Judge Parry sentenced him to 20 months youth detention and he was also banned from driving for 32 months.

Lee John Clayton

Lee John Clayton had gone to the property believing it to be the home of someone he claims had sent him threatening text messages.

But the 31-year, of Parc Felin Dwr, Llaingoch near Holyhead, had entered the wrong house in Llanynghenedly near Valley after finding the door unlocked and stole items from inside.

As he headed back to Holyhead, he was seen to drive on the wrong side of a roundabout and towards another motorist. Damage was caused to roadside bollards and the vehicle had been taken without the owner’s permission.

The marine engineer admitted charges of burglary, dangerous driving and driving without permission when he appeared before a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court. He also admitted drug driving and possessing illegal drugs.

Burglary victim David Hughes told police the incident on October 11 last year had caused him anxiety and followed a recent bereavment.

Jailing Clayton for a total of 20 months, Judge Timothy Petts said the effect on Mr Hughes was the “very real impact of burglary”.
